Definitions

  • an object of the present invention is to provide such an apparatus.
  • FIG. 4 is illustrative of scenes which may be presented to a subject in conjunction with a verbal auditory stimulus comprising a word.
  • FIG. 5 is illustrative of scenes which may be presented to a subject in conjunction with a verbal auditory stimulus comprising a sentence.
  • the apparatus of the present invention may include a processor for determining whether the subject should receive further diagnostic tests based upon the evaluation of whether the subject can identify the scene corresponding to the verbal auditory stimulus and the evaluation of the subject's vocalization.
  • the processor may be a software program running in the controller.
  • the processor may include an empirically based model of actual clinical experience (such as a statistical model, or more particularly a stochastic model) to determine whether the subject should receive further diagnostic tests. Since an object of the present invention is to provide a rapid screening test, rather than a thorough diagnostic evaluation, the processor preferably provides simply a "yes" or "no" answer to the question of whether or not the subject should receive further diagnostic tests for disorders of the subject's communicative system (i.e., hearing, speech, and language).
  • Middle ear fluid (Type B) Flat tympanogram, the absence of a pressure peak.
  • the pictures presented could be those shown in FIG. 5, namely, a plurality of kittens (top left), a single mouse (top right), a plurality of mice (bottom left), and a single kitten (bottom right). Note that the correct picture is the picture of the plurality of kittens, while two of the other three pictures (the single kitten and the plurality of mice) correspond to phrases which differ from the test item by one morpheme only.
  • Receptive Component of the Communication Screening System For each word and sentence stimulus on the system, the child is presented with four pictures and instructed to show the examiner the one best representing the stimulus by touching the appropriate picture on the computer screen. The child's response is recorded by the computer and is scored as either correct (score of 1) or incorrect (0). To examine the ability of this receptive portion of the Screening System to identify hearing problems, children with Type A tympanograms were compared to those with Type B using these "receptive" scores, and children passing the hearing test were compared to those failing it. Tables 1 and 2 present the percentage of children with Type A and B tympanograms and of those passing and failing the hearing screen who correctly identified each word or sentence stimulus.
